Thanks to its size, the movements of an elephant tend to be slow and ponderous. While it's impossible to know whether an elephant's inner life is more somber and dignified than, say, that of an otter, it certainly looks that way. This impression of elephants is compounded by the fact that elephants are observed engaging in what appears to be reverence for their dead. It seems likely that they are aware of their own mortality, given that when encountering fallen members of their kind, elephants will pause and observe, to the point of picking up and inspecting loose bones they might find. The prodigious memory of elephants also makes it seem that their lives must be more burdened by history and the past than animals with less powerful memories, which exist more "in the moment". An anthropomorphized elephant or mammoth will typically be honorable and stoic. A young elephant may be more playful, but is unlikely to be a willful troublemaker. Ironically, while in Real Life female elephants tend to be the most involved in the complex social behaviors which make them so easily identified-with, fictitious elephantine heroes tend to be males — perhaps because something so massive and thick-skinned as an elephant seems masculine even when the beast is female. Some aspects of Real Life elephants, such as their excellent memories, may be portrayed widely in fiction, while other aspects, such as the feeling of Unstoppable Rage and lust males feel during musth, may be played down. Except in the case they encounter dirty rats. Compare Genial Giraffe, another friendly animal that is often seen together with elephants. The polar opposite of the Cruel Elephant. Examples |

Most of the prehistoric elephants rescued in Prehistoric Park Reimagined prove to be largely friendly and agreeable gentle giants. Martha in particular is every bit the kindly Gentle Giant that she was in the original Prehistoric Park (even managing to sympathize and form a bond with Jerk with a Heart of Gold security chief Nikolai). But just to be safe, all the adult males are largely kept separate from the youngsters and adult females at the park, just in case. | |

Stella, the old circus elephant in The One and Only Ivan, is good friend with the gorilla Ivan. She's reserved and doesn't have Ivan's willful denial of how bad their situation is, and tells him stories. When the Big Top Mall gets a new baby elephant, Ruby, Stella tries to protect and soothe what is to her a traumatized child, but Stella has an injured foot with a recurrent, untreated infection that she soon dies of. As she's dying she starts to ask Ivan to promise her something, but stops herself, knowing a promise is forever and he's as powerless as she is. He knows she wants Ruby to have a better life somewhere else and promises anyway. Ivan also has the impression that bull elephants are like silverback gorillas - stoic, dignified, rarely angry except in protection of their families. If Stella knew otherwise, she didn't tell him. |

In Walking with Beasts, honor seems to increase in the proboscidean family tree as it gets closer to modern elephants. In "Mammoth Journey", female woolly mammoths and their young live in family groups that stick together and quietly help each other when facing predators and climatic hardships. The most unprovoked aggression seen consists of an adult male in musth chasing off a herd of bison with a mildly threatening trot, and an older bull scaring two cave lions out of his way when he migrates south (though said lions were feeding on a human carcass). Deinotherium in "Next of Kin", in contrast, are sadistic bullies that seem to revel on chasing hominids out of waterholes or because they are on heat. Bear in mind that this is as much elephantine behavior as the one exhibited by the mammoths. The series gives all positive traits to one lineage and all negative traits to the other, who also happens to be the uglier, less elephant-looking one. The goofy-looking Moeritherium in "Whale Killer" are perfect pacifists that don't really look or act like elephants. One is chased by the threatening Basilosaurus, but unlike most prey animals in the series it is given the chance to escape. |

In the backstory of Syberia, the Youkol tribe had domesticated mammoths and had lived in a symbiotic relationship. It is said that even to this day they live off the remains of mammoths frozen in ice. In Syberia II, it is revealed that mammoths are still living on the far away land of Syberia. When Kate and Hans finally arrive there, the mammoths are immediately friendly towards Hans, who mounts one and rides away.. | |

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): Behemoth — a Kaiju who resembles a cross between a mammoth and a ground sloth — plays with this; he's portrayed as destructive under Ghidorah's command, but later proves to be a docile and beneficial creature once Godzilla takes charge, restoring much of the Amazon rainforest just by walking around.

Thunder Cats 2011: The Elephants from the elephant village notably subvert the "Elephants Never Forget" stereotype, since while they're wise they also have very poor memories, which they are apparently infamous for. They're also pacifistic to the point that they prefer to solve their problems by meditating until the answer comes to them rather than act straight away. But that doesn't mean they're complete pushovers. | |

He's kinda forgetful and a little incompetent, but he's a Nice Guy and a Reasonable Authority Figure, especially when compared to folks like Hog Honcho/Director Ton, Scatherine/Tsubone, and Boss Buffalo/Yagyū. It should be noted, though, that Eaglette/Washimi, one of Retsuko's best friends, is the President's personal secretary, so how much of this is his normal behavior and how much of this is Eaglette pulling strings to help her friend have a good time at work is unknown. | |

In Primal, Spear and Fang hunt and kill an injured woolly mammoth for food and insulation. The rest of the herd come across the dead mammoth's remains and track down Spear and Fang to the cave where they're hiding for the night, upon which the herd attacks the two of them relentlessly. As it seems, though, what they really wanted was a tusk of the dead mammoth, which the herd leader picks up; they bring the tusk to an Elephant Graveyard to mourn him. | |

The Bible: A likely candidate for the Behemoth, a biblical creature mentioned in the Book of Job, is the now extinct giant Syrian elephant. Described to show the limits of man's power against God's nature, Behemoth is described as the most powerful land animal on the planet. In particular, the wording used to describe its greatness imply both physical and intellectual might. It's so big it has to use trees for shade and has giant horns/tusks it can gore the Leviathan with — certainly a beast that shouldn't be trifled with. Yet it spends its days peacefully in the fields and swamps, eating grass as the smaller beasts play around it, showing that it's a Gentle Giant herbivore if left in peace. | |

In Magic: The Gathering, elephants (including the loxodon) are usually Green or White, the colours most invocative of honour. Still, as Light Is Not Good, the loxodon of Mirrodin were brute bigots incapable of acknowledging moral complexity. | |

The Ultra Series have two elephant-looking kaiju, Zuruzula from Ultraman 80 and Gazebo from Ultraman: Towards the Future, neither of them which are hostile or violent. The former is a harmless zoo animal who was accidentally transformed into a monster after being exposed to Minus Energy, and even in it's giant state Zuruzula is never seen attacking the city or destroying buildings, only using it's trunks to blast high-pressure jets of water at UGM planes when they attack him, in self-defense, resulting in Ultraman Eighty purging the Minus Energy from inside him turning Zuruzula back to a zoo animal. The latter is a forest guardian protecting the environment and defending his own territory, causing Ultraman Great to put him into a Deep Sleep rather than killing it. | |

Prehistoric Park features Martha the mammoth. She first appears unsuccessfully trying to aid her sister, who has died falling in a pit trap made by early humans. Later, although she becomes an outcast from the African elephant herd the park attempts to bond her with, she stands up to Matilda, a young T. rex, when Matilda targets the matriarch's calf, leading to her being accepted into the herd. | |

King of Dragon Pass tells the story of Issaries' quest to make peace between the Big-Teeth (sabretooth cats) and Long-Noses (mammoths). It's specifically noted that the Long-Noses didn't cause the war and are only fighting back in self-defense. Unlike their enemies, they care about Long-Nose fallen being given their rightful Due to the Dead, and will not try to treacherously attack Issaries after he helps them. | |
